I'd saw off my leg for my grocery store to start carrying something besides shitty IPA's and Budweiser (lemmy.ml)

The Bavarian purity laws defined beer in that part of the world as something that can only have hops, water and wheat.

Hops, water and barley. I think not using wheat was kind of the point actually, since wheat can be made into bread, and you wouldn't want a bread shortage, would you? Banning others from brewing wheat beers, and then giving a monopoly to your own court brewery to corner the market, is also a baller business move.

Bah! You're right.

And that's funny: I never knew it was for someone else to have a monopoly on what beers. Thank you!
